i produce on both style of labels (london and techno) so i know that a big techno release can way outsell a big london acid techno release.
anyway...
the thing is this isn't the rosey industry alot of ppl think it is. it's sad to say but most ppl in techno really struggle. so many time i hear ppl telling me a certain techno artist must be minted and it's such a disillusion.
the fact is some of the biggest techno names out there are having real problems surviving. they alway have and they always will. they move too quick to make money. it's their own downfall! but it's what keep the techno movement so exciting!!!!! and ultimately why they do it!!!
